Wow, he got KO'd by Arthur in the 12th by a great shot, Taylor surely is the Ricky Hatton of the Super Middleweight Division, he can't even box anymore and his punch resistance is surely gone. Get a grip, man.
Why are you guys taking Ward so lightly? I want to apologizes after he dispatches most if not all in this tourney.
Added twist: the Supermiddleweight title is on the line. Jermain Taylor could come out as a champion.
Depends on which Ward shows up. If its the defense first Ward of the Miranda fight, Ward wins a wide UD. If its the more aggressive Ward of the Kessler fight, he stops him late, 10th-12th round mercy stoppage. All depends on whether he can do what Kessler failed to do and make him respect his power.
Taylor by KO, it will be nice to see him win another belt before his career is finished. He needs to use the jab and throw precise combinations to keep Ward from holding on to him. If he can improve his uppercut it will make his night much easier.
Damn can you imagine what it will be like here if Taylor KOs Ward? This board will become an almighty cluster**** with all of these revisionists trying to think up ways to spin a Ward loss by KO to Shaky Taylor into looking good I'm looking forward to it :yep
Id expect the fight to be competative for the first four rounds, before Taylors stamina issues kick in and Ward will probably TKO him
Ward also does explode, but not like AA, his explosion is more like he lunges forward with his left hand, If Taylor can get his jab in and circle left, leading him to throw a left hook or a straight right he can UD Ward IMO remember Taylor is an experienced fighter hu has been in the ring with tricky tactical fighters like, BHop, Winky, and Cory. and he managed to perform ok in those fights But with fighters like Pavlik, AA, and Froch, he was worn down. Ward doesnt continually stalk his opponent down, this should give Taylor enough time to relax during this fight.
